The Nisutlin River is a beautiful, wild river nestled among picturesque mountains, making it ideal for a first family canoeing experience with children.

This 130 km stretch of river flows through low wetlands with a gentle current and no technical difficulties, making it an excellent choice for young or beginner paddlers.

Despite its minimal difficulty, it is still a wild river, home to bears, moose, and abundant migratory birds to observe and enjoy.

The trip ends at Nisutlin Bay on Teslin Lake, near the village of Teslin.
